Sony May Delay PS3 Until 2007

GodFather writes "ArsTechnica posted an article that claims the PS3 may be pushed back as far as 2007 if the Xbox 360 launch flops. The reasoning behind it? If Microsoft comes out with a weak set of titles at launch Sony could delay and build a larger launch library to lay the smack down on Microsoft."

Nintendo the winner?

If Sony and Microsoft both back out of launching ... how big of a market share will Nintendo get if they launch the Revolution?

I hate to point this out (OK, I enjoy it), but Sega got Microsoft to help them with the Dreamcast. Flash forward a few years and Sega doesn't make a console, but Microsoft does.

Then look at the cell phone Microsoft "helped with" and why the maker ended up suing them.

Before that, Microsoft "helped" with OS/2 development.

Before that, Microsoft "helped" themselves to the code and API behind QuickTime and remarketed it as Video for Windows. 1.4d.

Before that, Microsoft "helped" IBM clone CPM.

Before that, Microsoft "helped" Apple computers.

Before that, Bill Gates helped early pioneers in software and then copyrighted their work as Basic.

And I know, I missed about 90% of the other instances of Microsoft helping a company to their doom.

I got a Dreamcast and it was a good box. Sega should have made money on it.
